Cristofoli Press

The Parisian press office Cristofoli Press was founded in 1994 by Josiane Cristofoli. The agency, renowned for seeking out and fostering young fashion talents, started with designer Xuly Bët and label Antik Batik as first clients.

Previously, Josiane Cristofoli had worked for the Parisian PR firm of Catherine Miran’s and was also the founder of the PR Quartier General in association with Sylvie Vaulet in 1991. Her three-person staff is composed of Marielle Belou for co-ordination, Sylviane Lesnard for French press and Laetitia Massoji for International press. They participate actively in the organisation and conception of the designers’ catalogues, shows and events.

Cristofoli’s list of clients includes designers such as Japanese avantgarde label Cosmic Wonder, the Austrian designer duos Fabrics Interseason and Wendy&Jim, Ioannis Guia (ready-to-wear and haute-couture), Junko Shimada, Liza Korn, Ramosport, Venera Arapu, Indress, Fred Sathal (haute-couture), Orner (jewellery), T.N.C. Studio (jewellery) and Dragovan (shoes). Cristofoli also takes care of Parisian boutiques such as Onward, Biondini or Eskandar.

In addition of these activities, Cristofoli Press promotes the Third Cycle of Creation of IFM (French Fashion Institute), keeping track of the students and supporting them after graduation
